17 KALYANA-KANDAM
First Jina is the root of all bliss Then comes Shantinath and Neminanth Prabhu The pious Parsva lights the universe I bow to them and Vardhamana Jina too.
This sea of Samsara is limitless but, You have crossed and attained the peace Great and brave are the Tirthankaras Who are the root of the tree of bliss.
On the path leading to Moksha Thou art the chariot and the guide Leader of the three worlds Thou has destroyed the false pride
Flower in one hand and the book in another Seated on a lotus - snow-white She is the one, Goddess of knowledge May she bring the true delight.
